Well, if you're willing to try it out, as I've mentioned on my
blog[1][2], ext4 is working pretty well on my laptop --- I'm running
it as my primary filesystem. There are a few problems with ext3
filesystems converted to use ext4, as opposed to starting afresh via
"mke2fs -t ext4dev /dev/hdXX" that we've just found in the past week
(and fixed within a day or two, although they haven't been pushed to
Linus yet), but overall, it's been pretty stable.
So this would be a good time for someone who is familiar wiht NFSv4 to
try it out and let us know if the i_version support is as you would
like in ext4 --- we're in the bugfixing/stablization phase right now,
so this would be an ideal time to get that feedback. For more
information, on how to get started, please see:
http://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Howto
for instructions, and mount the filesystem with the "-o i_version"
mount option.
And that's fixed in ext4 as well....
